Lyrics Don't Charge Me For The Crime ft. Common - Jonas Brothers

This is life in this world
Some things go right
Some things go wrong
This is how the world can be
But we just wanna be free, yeah
The verdict came in and said I was guilty
I looked at the judge and said, America built me
Tried to get rich, but they labeled me filthy
Only God can touch me, feel me
Friend calls me at nine o-clock
Says get the car it's time to rock
Never hear him speak this way
Grabbed the keys and hit the road
It's all a flash, but who would know
How this story will un-fold
Don't charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don't charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don't charge me for the crime
Friend gets into the car
With bags filled to the top with loads of cash
Throws his pistol on the dash
Says I'm sorry for the crime
That I've involved you in this time
You're the only friend I've got
So don't charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don't charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don't charge me for the crime
Start to freak and scream loud
Just like the females in the crowd
Thats when he gets in my head
You can live just like a king
With everything you've ever needed
All the dreams of every man
Don't charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don't charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don't charge me for the crime
Sirens sound and my heart was pounding
I look at my man while cops surround him
Teams on the scene with no objective
The American dream can be so deceptive
now I see the flashing light
There goes my future and my life
Now I've gotta do what's right
I stop the car and throw the keys
Out of the window, sets me free
I throw the pistol in the back
So I'm out of the car
Say so you know me well
I'm going to jail
I'm not planning on it
Even when I say
Won't charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don't charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don't charge me for the crime
